If ever you’ve dreamed of dining in an authentic 18th-century manor house, we’ve got just the spot for you. The Manor House at Locust Thicket in Lynchburg is exactly that: a charming historic manor house that has since been converted into one of the most unique dining spaces in the state. Here’s more on the Stone Hearth and Manor House Kitchen at Locust Thicket:
Tucked away in the heart of Lynchburg awaits one of the must unique dining experiences in town.
The Manor House and surrounding estate were built in 1790 by Samuel Beverly Scott, who served as a major in the Revolutionary War under George Washington.
The restaurant is a relatively recent addition to the property, but harkens back to the days of yore with its classic cooking methods and use of local produce and ingredients.
The restaurant space is divided among several rooms in the house rather than confined to one area alone. This offers guests the unique experience of dining "at home."
So whether you're inspired by the history or the menu, chances are you'll want to return to the Manor House at Locust Thicket for another unforgettable meal.
The Manor House at Locust Thicket can be found at 2627 Old Forest Road, Lynchburg, VA 24501. Have you experienced this unique restaurant before? We’d love to hear about it! For more information, be sure to visit the restaurant’s website here.
